Apparently I got a good review...

posted by [personal profile] selkie at 01:39pm on 10/05/2006
Jeannelle M. Ferreira's A Verse from Babylon is a novel set in the ghetto of Vilna under the Nazi regime, chronicling (in a series of vivid scenes scattered in time and chronology) the lives of a group of Jewish friends who created a repertory theatre there. It's a disconcerting, beautifully written novel that I suspect will work better for some readers than others, but it worked well for me.

This was on my birthday, no less. Someone on sff.net .

disconcerting

Uhm, Holocaust? I'd say so.

You are picking nits, dearie. Bask in the goodness.

Besides, it's way better to shake people up than to serve them warm milk pudding.

*steals your dish of warm milk pudding*

I know. I don't know that I set out to be disconcerting, is all.

Woohoo! Have as much faith as you can in your material (that is really hard.)
